She plunged her blade into his chest, feeling it grind along his ribs...

Outcast swordfighter, Kyer Halidan, was abandoned in a cornfield at age three. Now, twenty years on, she’s searching for answers: Who left her there? And why?

Kyer doesn't suffer fools, and when she kills a man in a duel, her life takes a dangerous turn. She catches the eye of legendary hero, Valrayker, and he pulls her into his company for a high-stakes mission to save a village. However, Kyer's past comes back to haunt her as she is stalked and captured by the allies of the man she killed. They will stop at nothing to find out what she knows.

Just when all hope seems lost, Kyer is rescued by an inexplicable magic that raises suspicions among her friends and enemies alike. As trust crumbles and danger closes in, Kyer must defy orders and challenge those she swore to follow.

As for her true identity, Valrayker has his own suspicions, but he's keeping those secrets to himself...for now.
